The paper owes its unique pleasant fragrance to benzoin resin. Without it, Papier d'Arménie™ would never have become what it is. Whilst on a trip to Armenia, Auguste Ponsot discovered the resin's disinfecting qualities and subsequently decided to introduce them to France. Renowned since ancient times for its antiseptic, healing and expectorant properties, benzoin balm has been traditionally applied externally to treat asthma, coughs and hoarseness.

How to use:
Tear off a strip, fold it accordion-style and place it on your Papier d'Arménie™ burner. Light the paper, blow gently so that the paper begins to glow (it shoul not burn quickly).
